Since experimental tests represent large investments, numerical simulations offer an efficient approach for a more comprehensive analysis. When RC frames with masonry infill walls are subjected to horizontal loading, their behaviour is highly non-linear after a certain limit, which makes their analysis quite difficult. The non-linear behaviour results from the complex inelastic material properties of the concrete, infill wall and conditions at the wall-frame interface. In order to investigate this non-linear behaviour in detail, a finite element model using a micro modelling approach is developed, which is able to predict the complex non-linear behaviour resulting from the different materials and their interaction. Concrete and bricks are represented by a non-linear material model, while each reinforcement bar is represented as an individual part installed in the concrete part and behaving elasto-plastically. Each brick is modelled individually and connected taking into account the non-linearity of a brick mortar interface. The same approach is followed using two finite element software packages and the results are compared with the experimental results. The numerical models show a good agreement with the experiments in predicting the overall behaviour, but also very good matching for strength capacity and drift. The results emphasize the quality and the valuable contribution of the numerical models for use in parametric studies, which are needed for the derivation of design recommendations for infilled frame structures.}, language = {en} } @article{RosinButenwegKlinkel2016, author = {Rosin, Julia and Butenweg, Christoph and Klinkel, Sven}, title = {Stabilit{\"a}tsnachweis f{\"u}r seismisch beanspruchte Tankbauwerke nach dem LBA/MNA-Konzept}, series = {Bauingenieur}, volume = {91}, journal = {Bauingenieur}, number = {12}, publisher = {VDI Fachmedien}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, issn = {0005-6650}, doi = {10.37544/0005-6650-2016-12-74}, pages = {518 -- 526}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Eine seismische Anregung verursacht in einem Fl{\"u}ssigkeitstank einen kombinierten Spannungszustand, was zu einem Stabilit{\"a}tsversagen der h{\"a}ufig sehr d{\"u}nnwandigen Konstruktionen f{\"u}hren kann.

Focus will be on modelling, simplified methods, linear-analysis (q-values, overstrength-values), nonlinear procedures, out-of-plane design as well as on clearer definition of limit states.

These Megatrends, such as "Silver Society", "Globalization", "Mobility" and "Female Shift" require an application-oriented perspective on Diversity especially in the engineering field. Therefore, it is necessary to enable future engineers not only to look at the technical perspectives of a problem, but also to be able to see the related questions within societies they are developing their artefacts for. The aim of teaching engineering should be to prepare engineers for these requirements and to draw attention to the diverse needs in a globalized world. Bringing together technical knowledge and social competences which go beyond a mere training of the so-called "soft skills", is a new approach followed at RWTH Aachen University, one of the leading technical universities in Germany. RWTH Aachen University has established the bridging professorship "Gender and Diversity in Engineering" (GDI) which educates engineers with an interdisciplinary approach to expand engineering limits. In the frame of a sustainable teaching concept the research group under the leadership of Prof. Carmen Leicht-Scholten has developed an approach which imparts a supplication-specific Gender and Diversity expertise to engineers. In workshops students gain theoretical knowledge about Gender and Diversity and learn how to transfer their knowledge in their special field of study and later work. To substantiate this, the course participants have to solve case studies from real life. The cases which are developed in collaboration with non-profit organizations and enterprises from economy rise the students to challenges which are inspired by professional life. Evaluation shows the success of this approach as well as an increasing demand for such teaching formats.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StollenwerkRiekeDahmenetal.2016, author = {Stollenwerk, Dominik and Rieke, Christian and Dahmen, Markus and Pieper, Martin}, title = {Biogas Production Modelling : A Control System Engineering Approach}, series = {IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science.

An important processing step in the production of aluminium-containing composites is the surface treatment and consequent coating of adhesive material on the aluminium surface. To increase adhesion strength between aluminium layer and the adhesive material, the foil is heat treated. For efficient heating, induction heating was considered as state-of-the-art treatment process. Due to the complexity of the heating process and the unpredictable nature of the heating source, the control of the process is not yet optimised. In this work, a finite element analysis of the process was established and various process parameters were studied. The process was simplified and modelled in 3D. The numerical model contains an air domain, an aluminium layer and a copper coil fitted with a magnetic field concentrating material. The effect of changing the speed of the aluminium foil (or rolling speed) was studied with the change of the coil current. Statistical analysis was used for generating a general control equation of coil current with changing rolling speed.}, language = {en} } @article{ChenClauserMarquartetal.2015, author = {Chen, Tao and Clauser, Christoph and Marquart, Gabriele and Willbrand, Karen and Mottaghy, Darius}, title = {A new upscaling method for fractured porous media}, series = {Advances in Water Resources}, volume = {80}, journal = {Advances in Water Resources}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0309-1708}, doi = {10.1016/j.advwatres.2015.03.009}, pages = {60 -- 68}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{KuertenMottaghyZiegler2015, author = {K{\"u}rten, Sylvia and Mottaghy, Darius and Ziegler, Martin}, title = {A new model for the description of the heat transfer for plane thermo-active geotechnical systems based on thermal resistances}, series = {Acta Geotechnica}, volume = {10}, journal = {Acta Geotechnica}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1861-1133}, doi = {10.1007/s11440-014-0311-6}, pages = {219 -- 229}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{KuertenMottaghyZiegler2015, author = {K{\"u}rten, Sylvia and Mottaghy, Darius and Ziegler, Martin}, title = {Design of plane energy geostructures based on laboratory tests and numerical modelling}, series = {Energy and Buildings}, volume = {107}, journal = {Energy and Buildings}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0378-7788}, doi = {10.1016/j.enbuild.2015.08.039}, pages = {434 -- 444}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{KuertenMottaghyZiegler2015, author = {K{\"u}rten, Sylvia and Mottaghy, Darius and Ziegler, Martin}, title = {Besonderheiten bei der Planung und Berechnung von oberfl{\"a}chennahen thermo-aktiven Bauteilen}, series = {Geotechnik}, volume = {38}, journal = {Geotechnik}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {2190-6653}, doi = {10.1002/gete.201500002}, pages = {107 -- 119}, year = {2015}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{TewariNeshvadGoldbachetal.2015, author = {Tewari, Udit and Neshvad, Surena and Goldbach, Daniel and Sachau, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Verification and Implementation of Pseudo-Random-Binary-Sequences for Online Determination of Grid Impedance Spectrum}, series = {International Conference on Renewable Energies and Power Quality (ICREPQ´15), La Conuna, Spain, 25th to 27th March, 2015}, booktitle = {International Conference on Renewable Energies and Power Quality (ICREPQ´15), La Conuna, Spain, 25th to 27th March, 2015}, pages = {6 Seiten}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @incollection{SrivastavaKnolleHoyleretal.2015, author = {Srivastava, Alok and Knolle, Friedhart and Hoyler, Friedrich and Scherer, Ulrich W. and Schnug, Ewald}, title = {Uranium Toxicity in the State of Punjab in North-Western India}, series = {Management of Natural Resources in a Changing Environment}, booktitle = {Management of Natural Resources in a Changing Environment}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-12559-6}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-12559-6_21}, pages = {271 -- 275}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Lately there has been an increasing concern about uranium toxicity in some districts of Punjab State located in the North Western part of India after the publication of a report (Blaurock-Busch et al. 2010) which showed that the concentration of uranium in hair and urine of children suffering from physical deformities, neurological and mental disorder from Malwa region (Fig. 1) of Punjab State was manifold higher than the reference ranges.
